How can I recompile PHP with proper GD support, because at the moment it can't work with jpeg's or animated gifs at all Are there any tutorials or anything about on this?
We've got a server over at MediaTemple, and unfortunately, it doesn't come with mcrypt enabled. I REALLY need this extension, as it is mission critical and was needed yesterday! how to install mcrypt, libmcrypt, and then how I recompile PHP with Plesk or SSH? My server administration knowledge is very limited.
My server details are:
psa v8.1.0_build81070201.15 os_CentOS 4.2 Linux 2.6.9-023stab040.1-enterprise
I am recompiling the kernel with the src rpm. I haven't been able to get any kernel to boot properly since i got this server.
I really could use some help, below i posted lspci, lsmod and cat interrupts. What I really need help with is which kernel modules are necessary for my server.
lspci: [url] lsmod: [url] interrupts: [url]
I have already tried a kernel with ext3, and sata support compiled in but it never boots.
I'm on a shared host that allows shell access. We need to install a PHP module -- they say we can, but they won't do it for us. Can anyone explain how we would accomplish that?
I am thinking of purchasing a dedicated server from godaddy (yes, I know). Their default php does not include the library I want (ming). So, could I just install ming and recompile php with ming support? It should be possible, right. I have asked this question to godaddy's email support, but they seemed unaware of what I meant.
After I recompiled Apache and PHP using easyapache from cPanel, we started getting all these weird errors. I'm getting a few people now complaining about not being able to enable register_globals. I believe (after searching) that having this enabled is a big security risk and shouldn't need to be used. However, some people apparently where using .haccess and php_flag to enable this. I did find on a few places that people can create their own php.ini file to emulate what was previously done with .htaccess?
After searching around..
I found out that Register Globals can become a security risk based on the scripts configuration that uses it. This feature normally can be enabled via .htaccess using the glad "php_flag register_globals On". Creating a file called php.ini inside the directory of the site with the flag "register_globals=on" I believe will also enable this option. To enable this option on a global scale, you can edit '/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/etc/php.ini', but its not recommended.
However.. We are unable to get the php.ini concept to work. Is there something I need to do to enable/allow users to do this for their account?
In the middle of recompiling apache (via whm) after upgrading postgresql to 8.3, apache went down and remains down even after restart. Recompile is still in progress (about 15 minutes in)

I'm undecided between an upcoming dedicated hosting server and am moving between Softlayer and ThePlanet. My decision partly comes down to support.
I've read many reviews on WHT about both companies, but not necessarily comparing them from people who have experienced both.
So my questions (keep in mind this is my first dedicated. I have used VPS in the past with good support) Which offers MORE support (not better) - I'm curious which company might consider my support questions as "part of the default service package" or "need additional service plan for that" More detailed support - my usual experience with support is support staff assume you already know a high level so it may take going forward and back 5 times via email to get a full answer Overall support satisfaction - any other comments
I've been with Hivelocity for 2 years. Occasionally we have problems, but it works. Their support staff can do very simple things relatively fast, however if you have some serious problems, e.g. failed disk and need to be replaced and do restoration from backup, it will be hell!
They will NOT do what asked in Reload Request, delayed answer to chat, no answer to tickets for many hours.
So far I'm very disappointed of Hivelocity support.
how common is it in the VPS industry to do custom installs/configurations/updates on request. For example, I don't know how to configure qmail and I will want someone to do this for me. Does this kind of service exist? Is it a standard to be expected or is it fee-based thing?
Im used DirectAdmin on my primary linux server, i need to IMAP support in php.ini for resolve my ticket import system in "WHMCS" But i dont know how can enable it on DirectAdmin.
Can you help me?

Do you personaly think that some companys don't answer right on support tickets or don't think the right way, (like dont care) when answering a support ticket in there billing system or support system then with the client comes on a forum such as WHT and posts what happens the provider comes and helps the client much more then he would of or had in the support tickets. I see many people come on wht and bring there problems they have with there provide, Im not saying this is a bad thing to do im just trying to show every else how i see it as that the hosts don;t care about there clients but when something goes public the hosting provider trys more to fix it...
Could it be that he or she dsnt want to lose customers thats the way i think it.
GeekStorage's support is awesome. They usually answer within 10 minutes and so far (only been with them for 2 weeks!) they have solved every issue perfectly.
The quality of their support and their attention to detail is the best I have seen in the past 5 years.
I was at a crossroads on my server running php 4x and needed to be able to run 5 and allow the sites using 4 to still run it. I read about how to do it but would of totally screwed it up.
LW support came to the rescue, installed both the 4 and 5 and now I can select the php version to run from the accounts cpanel.
Took a while to work through it but it's up and running and I'm a happy camper.
That's why I've had my server with them going on 3 years now.
I want to buy a hosting service with following feature
1 SSH
2 SSL
3 Rsync
4 SVN
5 Wordpress, Drupal support ( plan to run multiple wordpress and drupal site in this hosting plan)
6 multiple domain name support in one hosting plan
7 a lot of bandwith
8 great customer support, and low down time
I do some research and have a chat with justhost.com and they seem to support everything i need however, after reading some review seem like they try to force you to update to dedicate server when your bandwidth is up.
We are a web company that currently has a WHM/cPanel server that we manage ourselves. However, we are looking for a service that will be on call for us 24/7 in case something were to go amiss and our technical team was not available to restart services, restart the server or do whatever technical troubleshooting was required to get things back up and running quickly.
I am looking for a webhost with a package that supports both ASP.NET *and* Postgres. So far, I have been able to find ones that support one but not the other.
I'm in the process of migrating some stuff to a new VPS. Some things I can do myself, some the provider has offered to help with (Future Host), but there are a number of little issues and tasks that I either don't have the time for, or aren't confident in doing myself.
I'd like to 'hire' a freelancer. Can anyone give me an idea what a going rate for doing some general WHM/cPanel tasks might be?
I moved a web site over to iweb.com about 4 months ago. I've found them to be quite responsive to simply queries and issues - quite a change from the previous host I might say. Last week I ran an FTP download to perform a backup of all the material. After about 12Mb, the transfer was aborted and I could no longer access the site by FTP, or HTTP and I couldnt get email. The site is not down though as others can access it, but I cannot access it from any computers on my network (PC and mac). I chatted with support and they said they'd have to look into it - this was last Wed (1/14). I still cannot get connected. Further diagnosis from my end leads me to believe that IP was blocked due to the FTP transfer (I was able to duplicate this from a different IP). Apparently, the problem has been escalated to the sysadms but they are swamped and can't get to my problem. I figure unblocking the IP should be an easy quick fix. Perhaps understanding why it happened and how to rectify that will take longer.
My question to the group is, is this level of service normal for iweb.com, and are my expectations of a quick fix unreasonable?
